Ho Ho friends it is 10:30 at night here in the quiet state of Michigan and yet my ears are ringing loud and clear. My plans for the week have already been disrupted by some seriously savage news. I am going to pack in a few minutes for a red eye flight out of Metro Airport to Fort Meyers Florida where I will witness (and hopefully land an inside look at) a John McCain rally. After Sarah Palins remark trying to link Obama to William Ayers and calling him a terrorist I received a call from a political junkie friend of mine who claims to have relations in the McCain camp. He informed me that starting tomorrow the McCain camp was going to turn to a strategy that would leave Obama supporters beating their breasts and gnashing their teeth. I can only suspect that the McCain camp is starting to get the fear and in their anguish are going to try to pummel Obama like a pinata. Yes folks I dont think issues matter anymore for the McCain camp. I think they see the sharks circling and are desperate to get someone else's blood in the water. I think the hockey mom is going to wipe the lipstick off and become the pitbull the McCain camp has been wanting. Yes sir we have a month until the election and I think there will be a lot of casualties. This has become trench warfare and only the nastiest grittiest warriors will survive. Unfortunately I dont think Obama can lob the same grenades that McCain can. I do know that Joe Bidens mother-in-law died last night and that Palin has already taken a shot at him for leaving the campaign trail to be with his wife. This is about to get as nasty as it gets folks. As Hunter S Thompson used to say Buy the Ticket Take the ride. Maybe when the dust settles and the wounded hobble away we will see that maybe it wasnt so bad after all...but I doubt it.
